If there is one "unit" on a 4-12 Redskins' team that can be called "solid" linebacking would be that unit. Spending big bucks on a linebacker this year - - remember, a cap will be coming in future years if not in 2010 - - would not be a good strategic move.
Dansby is good. I'd pass...
this whole post is a joke, but this is the biggest fallacy. once the cap goes away, it ain't coming back. you see something you like, buy it. its that simple
If the LB corps. is a mess what does that say for the OL?

I really hope that isnt the case...im for a cap. Lil' Danny gonna be thinking he George Steinbrenner. In regards to Dansby, he is worth a look and mos def a stud, but not worth 7 mil per year contract IMO...take that money and put into younger studs on the Oline (Evans or McNeil)

This is the thing about free agency that people are not realizing...I am not 100% sure about Evans, but McNeil would require us to trade picks in order to get him. The same goes for the threads about McNabb (who is still under contract) and Brandon Marshall (who I believe will be an RFA). These guys would cost us picks that we really cannot afford to lose.
While it is true that our focus should be on the offensive line with a lot of our offseason moves, Dansby at the right price, would be a good acquisition if indeed we are moving to a 3-4 defense since he won't be restricted like a lot of the other free agent names people are throwing around.

i realize you are just repeating what many others have said, but i think thats a big fat myth. there will be no cap in 2010, but itll be back in some form by 2011 or 2012. the owners, for the most part, WANT a salary cap... they think theyre paying players too much already. the players want a salary floor. something will be worked out.
Its also very possible that contracts written before a new CBA is reached (probably sometime in 2011) will not have to apply by all of the rules of the new CBA. Or, more likely, the contracts would apply, but non-compliant teams would face less strict penalties for non-compliance before the New CBA vs. non-compliance after the new CBA.
Whatever the case, I don't think teams should worry too much about the potential future ramifications of contracts signed in the capless year. I also think Dansby is a near-lock to become a Redskin if he choses not to resign with Arizona.

No way should we go after this guy. Wilson will do fine in a 3-4. Paying another free agent is not the way to go. We've been down this road way too many times.

that road has only hurt us because of the salary cap - overspending in free agency in one year meant disaster 3-4 years down the road. The only thing the team needs to avoid is TRADING TOO MANY DRAFT PICKS for veteran players. That is something that will screw a team over whether there's a cap or not.

Yeah, that was with freaking Vinny. Also, isn't Dansby an ILB, as opposed to Wilson who would probably be an OLB in a 3-4? As I said, all of this would be worth looking for the right price. Signing Dansby wouldn't take away from drafting the offensive linemen that we need.

Good point. As I mentioned, this is the first free agent that anyone has brought up who's not going to be restricted, hence we won't need to trade anything to get him.
